Aces Hold for Wheeler and Bryant
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
With 23,000 already in the pot, Jeff Wheeler got it all from early position for 71,500 on a flop of 4♥2♦9♠ against the player on the button.
Jeff Wheeler: A♠A♥
Button: J♣9♦
The board ran out safe for Wheeler as the turn landed the 5♦ and the river fell the 7♥.
At a nearby table, Eric Bryant was involved in a three-way all in holding pocket aces against pocket kings and pocket queens.
The flop came A♦J♦6♥ to give Bryant top set, but both of his opponents found help on the Q♥ turn. The J♠ river improved Bryant to a full house, and the sizable pot was pushed his way.
"I'm gonna have to go have a cigarette after that hand," said Bryant as he stacked his chips.
